The artistic hairstyle was created by 35-year-old barber Mario Hvala from the city of Novi Sad in Serbia and took him eight hours to complete.

He told Central European News (CEN): “Besides Merkel being a strong leader and influential woman in the world of politics in a state that counts over 80 million people it was interesting to me that she is actually a Serbian in-law.”

Merkel is married to Joachim Sauer, who Hvala explained has origins from the Sorbs region, home to a “Serbian national minority that settled in eastern Germany”.

He added: “When I read that I found it interesting to place her among my famous portraits.”

Mario started doing the hair portraits in 2009 and he told CEN that he would like to do a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

He recently created a portrait of his favourite Game of Thrones character Arya Stark, who is played by British actress Maisie Williams.
